 Right now the garden tests store results as XML which is an optional
 install for postgres.  I often don't build my postgresql with xml. Also
 xml in general has less support now than json does.

 Since JSONB exists from PostgreSQL 9.3+ and JSON for 9.2+ and is always
 present, makes sense to switch to that at least for 2.4.  We can do 2.3
 too since we dropped support for 9.1 in 2.3.
